London - A documentary about rent boys which was shown on Channel 4 nearly two years ago contained faked scenes, the station said yesterday. Rent boys' "clients" who were shown negotiating for sex in three scenes in the programme, Too Much Too Young: Chickens, were production staff or their friends. Channel 4 disclosed. The channel has banned the independent producer of the programme from more work but now faces an investigation by the Independent Television Commission.
